Q

H: I’ve tried to make the best of the good points

A

My passions are deeper than yours. I can’t keep the mask on as you do. I’m crude and real, you are my appearance in the world.

But together we are one woman, the wife of Charles Goodrich.

Q

H: I resent your appropriation of a man you is managed only through the cleverness of my artifice

A

You may be clever enough to deceive him, Harriet, but I am still the one who suffers. I can’t forget he is my husband. I can’t forget that I might have married John Caldwell.

That’s what I want to talk to you about. She may be here at any moment. I want to advice you about what to say to her this afternoon

Q

H: That’s right, blame me.

It was your fault. You told me he was too poor and never would be able to do anything in painting. Look at him now, known in Europe, just returned from eight years in Paris, famous.

And then John married Margaret within the year.

And now after all my suffering you say it has cost you more than it has cost me to be married to Charles. But it’s the pain here in my heart, I’ve paid the price, I’ve paid…Charles is not your husband

He isn’t! I’ll kill you!

Q

H: Don’t you’re stronger than I…

A

Say he’s mine

35
Q

H: He’s ours

A

There she is now

36
Q

H: Show Mrs. Caldwell up

A

I’m so excited, my hearts in my mouth

37
Q

H: A nice state you’ve put my nerves into

A

Don’t let her see you’re nervous

38
Q

H: Quick, put the veil on, or she’ll see you shining through me

A

Tell her Charles is rich and fascinating-boast of our friends, make her feel she needs us

39
Q

H: I’ll make her ask John to paint us

A

That’s just my thought-if John paints our portait…

40
Q

H:…We can wear an exquisite gown

A

And make him fall in love again and-

41
Q

H: Yes…Margaret, I’m so glad to see you

A

That’s a lie

42
Q

MR: I know, Mr. Goodrich is so successful

A

Tell her we’re rich

43
Q

H: How well you are looking, Margaret

A

Yes, you are not. There are circles under your eyes

44
Q

MA: You have hard lines around your lips, are you happy?

A

Don’t let her see that I’m unhappy

45
Q

MA: I wonder.

A

Tell her we have an automobile

46
Q

MR: He cannot begin to fill his orders

A

Tell her we have an automobile

47
Q

MR: I used to drink very sweet coffee in Turkey and ever since I’ve-

A

I don’t believe you were ever in Turkey

48
Q

MR: John painted several portraits there

A

Why don’t you stop her bragging and tell her we have an automobile?

49
Q

MR: Thank you

A

Automobile!

50
Q

MR: What delicious cake!

A

There’s your chance for the auto!

51
Q

MR: The one you have on, my dear, is very paintable

A

Don’t let her see you’re anxious to be painted

52
Q

MR: Some people can wear anything with grace

A

Yes, I am very graceful

53
Q

MR: In fact, I was quite jealous when John was paying you so much attention

A

She is gloating because I lost him

54
Q

MR: There is a fair chance that John will be added to the list

A

I know it and I am bitterly jealous of you

55
Q

MR: Yes, we did find life difficult at first, not the luxurious start a girl has who marries wealth

A

Deny you married Charles for his money

56
Q

MR: But John and I are so congenial in our tastes, that we were impervious to hardship or unhappiness

A

Do you love each other? Is it really true?

57
Q

MR: Prince River soon discovered John’s genius and introduced him royally to wealthy Parisians who gave him many orders

A

Are you lying or telling the truth?

58
Q

MR: You must have found social life in New York very interesting, Harriet, after the simplicity of our home town

A

There’s no need to remind us that our beginning were the same

59
Q

MR: Are you and Mr. Goodrich interested in the same things, too?

A

NO!

60
Q

MR: How wonderfully life has arranged itself for you. Wealth, position, a happy marriage, every opportunity to enjoy all pleasures, beauty, art-how happy you must be.

A

Don’t call me happy! I’ve never been happy since I gave up John. All these years without him, a future without him, no-no-I shall win him back-away from you, away from you-

61
Q

MR: He gets as much as four thousand dollars now

A

Don’t pay that much

62
Q

MR: Otherwise you might arrive while he has a sitter, and John refuses to le me disturb him then

A

Make her ask for an order

63
Q

MR: Oh, dear me, no. He is only praised by the masses. He is accepted not at all by artists themselves.

A

Must I really pay full price?

64
Q

MR: Why don’t you let Le Grange paint you, if you trust him?

A

She doesn’t seem anxious to have John do it

65
Q

MA: Help us! Help us! Save us!

A

Don’t seem too eager

66
Q

MR: John might be induced to to you for a little below his usual price considering you used to be such good friends.

A

Hurrah!

67
Q

MR: He sets his value on his work and thinks it beneath him to discuss price

A

You needn’t try to make us feel small

68
Q

MA: Finish what I don’t want to say

A

Help her out

69
Q

H: No doubt I-

A

Be patronizing

70
Q

MA: We can go now

A

Don’t let her think she is doing us a favor

71
Q

MA: Run home and tell John! Hurry, hurry!

A

You managed the order very neatly. She does’t suspect that you wanted it

72
Q

MA: I must be going or you will have me completely under your spell

A

Yes, do go. I have to dress for dinner.

73
Q

MR: I find you so stimulating.

A

I hate you!

74
Q

MR: How delightful it is to know you again

A

I am going to make you and your husband suffer

75
Q

MR: He will be so happy to receive them

A

I can hardly wait to talk to him again

76
Q

MR: I’ll speak to John about it as soon as I can and tell you when to come.

A

I love him-I love him!

77
Q

MA: He’s starving, I’m starving

A

I’m going to take him away from you

78
Q

MA: I want your money and your influence

A

I’m going to rob you, ROB YOU!
